Orchard Petroleum Limited (ASX; OPL) (Orchard) and Orchard Petroleum Inc. (OP Inc), a
wholly owned subsidiary of Orchard, are pleased to announce that the Larner 1-12 exploration
well has reached its targeted depth of 8,000 feet and has encountered gas in the primary
objective at approximately 7,400 feet along with additional hydrocarbons in shallower secondary
objectives.
Electric logging has been completed. The decision to set pipe and complete the well has been
made. A testing program will begin once a service rig can be scheduled.
The next well in the Forbes Gas Project will commence within the next two weeks.
Steve Graves, Executive Chairman, said, “We are very pleased to be setting pipe on our first
well in the Forbes Gas Project. This is our third project in California including Sledge Hamar
and McCormack Road where we have had success over the last year. It holds significant
importance given our planned multi-well drilling program in the Forbes Gas area and large
working interest in the project.”
